Sixty-four papers by 85 authors from 20 countries representing five continents address core issues and challenges of policing in Central and Eastern Europe, cooperation and exchange of knowledge in policing, policing and the community, policing and change, policing and crime, policing and psychology, police education and training, women in policing, and traffic law enforcement.

Abstract:

A review of the core issues and challenges for policing in Central and Eastern Europe encompasses the role and importance of cooperation, training, education, and research; challenges for police managers; the importance of police accountability to the community in a democracy; and police human relations training. Eight papers focus on the importance and nature of cooperation and exchange of knowledge among police of various nations, and six papers address "Policing and the Community." The latter papers consider the use and effectiveness of community policing in a democracy, the police role in combatting domestic violence in the United States, and the development of a prison system for a democratic society. Seven papers discuss the management of change in police organizations, with attention to changes in police structure and style under the political reforms in Eastern European countries. Twelve papers pertinent to "Policing and Crime" focus on countering organized crime and criminal investigation techniques in general and for specific types of crime. The nine papers that deal with "Policing and Psychology" consider the application of the principles of organizational psychology to occupational stress in policing, as well as attitudes, values, and perceptions in policing. Eight papers describe various systems of police education and training in European countries, the United States, and South Africa. Four papers address the status and role of women in policing, and three papers discuss aspects of traffic law enforcement. For individual papers, see NCJ-170292-170351.
